Differential phosphoproteomics upon chitin-treatment in Marchantia polymorpha

ABSTRACT: Pattern-recognition receptor (PRR)-triggered immunity (PTI) plays a pivotal role in plant immunity to ward off a wide range of pathogenic microbes. The model liverwort Marchantia polymorpha is gaining popularity in investigating the evolution of plant-microbe interactions. The M. polymorpha is capable of triggering defense-related gene expression by sensing components in bacterial and fungal extracts, suggesting existence of PTI in this plant model. However, the molecular components that would form PTI in M. polymorpha have not yet been described. We show that, in M. polymorpha, lysin motif (LysM) receptor-like kinase (LYK) MpLYK1 and LYK-related (LYR) MpLYR, among four LysM receptor homologs, are required for sensing chitin and peptidoglycan (PGN) fragments and thereby triggering a series of immune responses. Phosphoproteomic analysis of M. polymorpha in response to chitin treatment comprehensively identified regulatory proteins that would shape LysM-mediated PTI. The identified proteins covered homologs of well-described PTI components in angiosperms as well as proteins whose roles in PTI are not yet determined including the blue-light receptor phototropin MpPHOT. We revealed that MpPHOT is required for a negative feedback of defense-related gene expression during PTI. Taken together, this study provides the basic framework of LysM-mediated PTI in M. polymorpha and demonstrates the utility of M. polymorpha as a plant model for discovering novel or fundamental molecular mechanisms underlying PRR-triggered immune signaling in plants.

Project description:Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic and carcinogenic pollutant that poses a threat to human and animal health by affecting several major organ systems. Urbanization and human activities have led to significant increases in Cd concentration in the environment, including in agroecosystems. To protect against the harmful effects of Cd, efforts are being made to promote safe crop production and to clean up Cd-contaminated agricultural lands and water, reducing Cd exposure through the consumption of contaminated agricultural products. There is a need for management strategies that can improve plant Cd tolerance and reduce Cd accumulation in crop plant tissues, all of which involve understanding the impacts of Cd on plant physiology and metabolism. Grafting, a longstanding plant propagation technique, has been shown to be a useful approach for studying the effects of Cd on plants, including insights into the signaling between organs and organ-specific modulation of plant performance under this form of environmental stress. In this review, we aim to highlight the current state of knowledge on the use of grafting to gain insights into Cd-induced effects as well as its potential applicability in safe crop production and phytoremediation. In particular, we emphasize the utility of heterograft systems for assessment of Cd accumulation, biochemical and molecular responses, and tolerance in crop and other plant species under Cd exposure, as well as potential intergenerational effects. We outline our perspectives and future directions for research in this area and the potential practical applicability of plant grafting, with attention to the most obvious gaps in knowledge. We aim at inspiring researchers to explore the potential of grafting for modulating Cd tolerance and accumulation and for understanding the mechanisms of Cd-induced responses in plants for both agricultural safety and phytoremediation purposes. Finally, it is important to bear in mind that although we have address Cd in this review, the idea can be applied to the large majority of abiotic and biotic stressors.
